I have to admit that I am pretty unimpressed by these stupid-looking
gray plastic "aero" covers.

So . . . if a fellow has three "aeros," and one odd plastic type with
five fake "lugnuts" molded into it . . . and doesn't want to buy new
wheels, what would be a good "look" for his 84 that he is planning to
paint safety yellow with black trim?
